Problems connecting to MySql on GoDaddy

Question

Hi!
Don't know if it's the right place to ask, but I'm stuck with a problem.
I've just bought my domain from GoDaddy.com and set a MySql database there. However, when I try to login to the server using the following info my Java application refuses to create a connection.
String urlDatabase = "jdbc:mysql://mysql server/databasename"; String user = "databasename"; // on godaddy the db and user are the same String password = "mypassword";
The same code used to connect to the database works clean and smooth on my local machine.
After I construct the connection string it throws me the following errors:
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server. at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Unknown Source) at com.mysql.jdbc.Util.handleNewInstance(Util.java:406) at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createCommunicationsException(SQLError.java:1119) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.createNewIO(ConnectionImpl.java:2257) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.<init>(ConnectionImpl.java:784) at com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4Connection.<init>(JDBC4Connection.java:46) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Unknown Source) at com.mysql.jdbc.Util.handleNewInstance(Util.java:406) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.getInstance(ConnectionImpl.java:354) at com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java:284) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source) at magenta.model.database.connectionpool.JDCConnectionPool.getConnection(JDCConnectionPool.java:62) at magenta.model.database.connectionpool.JDCConnectionDriver.getConnection(JDCConnectionDriver.java:36) at magenta.main.Main.<init>(Main.java:20) at magenta.main.Main.main(Main.java:39)
I have to say that in phpmyadmin, from GoDaddy, the user appears to login to a different IP than that where the database is stored.
It says somenthing like this:
# Server: testdatabase11.database server.com (IP1 via TCP/IP)
# User: testdatabase11@IP2
Don't know if that may be the cause of my problem though.
I emailed them some hours ago but still didn't get any answer.
Any help will be highly appreciated!

I have a similar problem, I have a paid GoDaddy hosting account, ssh is enabled, and I can access the database from a php script run at home so its not an internet issue... I can't figure out what the problem is, but the program is crashing when I get to the createStatement() command... Any ideas anyone?
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class sqltest extends Activity {
                Connection conn=null;
          try {
               // from http://help.godaddy.com/topic/319/article/262
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
                                   "jdbc:mysql://profiles.db.1111111.hostedresource.com:3306/dbname",
                                   "dbname", "password");
          } catch (SQLException e1) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e1.printStackTrace();
          try {
               // Create a result set containing all data from mysql_all_table
               Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM *");
}PS: I'm technically doing this in android, but I think the problem is pure java...
